For those trying to battle this type of irrationality, a good analogy can maybe help put some perspective.
This was what one metal fan did when he made a reference to American heavy metal band Slipknot, who’s well-known for wearing masks their entire music career.
Twitter user Val (@XMaloVidaX) said in a post: “If Slipknot can wear a mask for a full set than you can wear a mask for your trip to Target!!”
